Darkane
Darkane is a Swedish extreme metal band that originated in Helsingborg in 1998. Their music contains ample thrash elements interspersed with acoustic interludes and symphonic features, such as the in studio use of synthesizers and occasionally full orchestras and choir singing. The name Darkane is a portmanteau of the words "dark" and "arcane".
History
Formation and Rusted Angel (1998–2000)
Darkane was formed by former Agretator guitarist Christofer Malmström and drummer Peter Wildoer, who recorded a 2-song demo in 1998. On the strength of these two songs, Darkane landed a record deal with War Music, and the band's lineup was completed by bassist Jörgen Löfberg, guitarist Klas Ideberg, and vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid. However, as vocalist of the already-established Soilwork, Speed was unable to continue dividing his time, and decided to leave Darkane. After a period of several months without a vocalist, he was replaced by vocalist Lawrence Mackrory, who was recommended by the band's producer, Daniel Bergstrand.

Distress
by: DarkaneArising wrath in a penurious existence
Hunting a being of my own
Treading on disconsolate faces
Desperately climbing for the throne
Denying the gift of humanity
Like a stillborn walking the earth
I'm reaching nirvana of insanity
Praising indolence, banning birth
Craving for distressing acts
My impulse for violent art
Forces me to inevitable impacts
Is tearing your destiny apart
A brutal reality destroying all life
This terror will always reign
Constantly frustrating society, in my world I'm the master brain
Join my morbid parade - A horrid masquerade
My dark blood is screaming from the past, the spirits of a lost generation
The howling voices will always last, will lead me to my own devastation
If I had chosen the other path, If I had to make myself clear
Join my morbid parade - A horrid masquerade
